Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we show that Leavitt path algebras of weighted graphs and Leavitt path algebras of separated graphs are intimately related. We prove that any Leavitt path algebra$L(E,\omega )$of a row-finite vertex weighted graph$(E,\omega )$is$*$-isomorphic to the lower Leavitt path algebra of a certain bipartite separated graph$(E(\omega ),C(\omega ))$. For a general locally finite weighted graph$(E, \omega )$, we show that a certain quotient$L_1(E,\omega )$of$L(E,\omega )$is$*$-isomorphic to an upper Leavitt path algebra of another bipartite separated graph$(E(w)_1,C(w)^1)$. We furthermore introduce the algebra${L^{\mathrm {ab}}} (E,w)$, which is a universal tame$*$-algebra generated by a set of partial isometries. We draw some consequences of our results for the structure of ideals of$L(E,\omega )$, and we study in detail two different maximal ideals of the Leavitt algebra$L(m,n)$.
